Determine how many radiology resident research day projects are presented at the Canadian Association of Radiologists Annual Scientific Meeting (CAR ASM) and if presentation at the CAR ASM is associated with increased rates of publication. A database of radiology resident presentations from 2012 to 2017 research days at seven Canadian radiology programs was utilized. Each presenting resident was searched for in 2011-2019 CAR ASM books of abstracts to identify all CAR ASM presentations both related to and separate from their research day projects.

Article Synopsis
  • Wrist trauma in children often leads to unnecessary radiation exposure from X-rays due to many cases not involving fractures.
  • A study evaluated the effectiveness of three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) and artificial intelligence (AI) for detecting wrist fractures in children, showing it is feasible, reliable, and accurate.
  • Results indicated that 3DUS and AI could successfully identify fractures, with AI matching human performance, suggesting ultrasound could be a safer alternative to radiography in emergency settings.

There have been no prior studies on publication of medical imaging residency research presentations. Our objective was to determine how many medical imaging resident research projects presented at internal program research days across Canada go on to publication.
